with other PSP® systems, download data, and compete against other
players via a connection to a wireless local area network (WLAN). You

systems to communicate directly with each other. Play head-to-head
against other players within shouting distance. As long as you both have
copies of Madden NFL 09, you are ready to hit the field.

INFRASTRUCTURE MODE

Infrastructure mode is a Wi-Fi feature that allows the PSP® system to
link to a network via a WLAN access point (a device used to connect to a
wireless network). In order to access Infrastructure mode features, several
additional items are required, including a subscription to an Internet
service provider, a network device, a WLAN access point, and a PC. For
further information and set up details, please refer to the PSP® system's
Instruction Manual.

you can disable the Salary Cap feature on Franchise Setup.

ground up from the entire pool of NFL players. You have 49 rounds to fill
out your roster. This is the starting point of your Franchise so pay attention
to a player’s rating, age, and the cap room he requires.

THE FRANCHISE SCHEDULE

From training camp to the off-season, you’re in charge. This is the

progression of each Franchise season.

Training Camp Put your players through drills to earn

points to boost their attributes. You can skip
camp if you want, but your players' overall
performance will suffer a bit.

Preseason Finalize your roster and evaluate rookies

before the regular season begins. The Position
Battles screen shows who’s fighting for the
same position. Your preseason depth chart is
automatically set: starters play the first half,
rookies and backups play the second half.
During the Season You can play any game on the schedule. You
can also make player trades before the sixth
week of the season and sign free agents. Even
if your team doesn’t make the playoffs, you
can still play any postseason game including
the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl.

Off-Season There are 12 steps to the off-season that must

be completed before beginning a new season.
If you wish to skip any steps in the off-season,
you can simulate past them.
